\section{Introduction} 

The introduction is written assuming the reader is not a specialist in the subject matter. It is important that you provide sufficient background material.  The background information helps put your project into the broader context of scientific knowledge, and explains the motivation for this investigation.  What has been done before?  What connections are there between your project and other fields of physics, optics, engineering, etc.? Try to make it inviting, interesting, informative, and generally useful independent of anything else in the report. The reader should be excited and motivated to keep reading your paper.  Generally, this section has most of the citations~\cite{Dork2010}, and should have no equations~\cite{Nerd2010,Pcubed2007}. (These citations to the references make no sense, I am just throwing them in there as TeX formatting examples.)



\section{Theory}

The `Theory' section is generally an in-depth presentation of the mathematical models and how they are are relevant for your investigation. This section should explain the theoretical relationships and equations which are relevant for the experiment and its analysis.  Explain where each equation comes from and what all of the variables represent.  All physics equations needed later should be introduced here.  Equations should also be incorporated into the structure of the sentence.  The sentence structure should flow around the equation, or end with the equation.  Equation lines should also have punctuation when necessary; i.e., if the equation ends the sentence there should be a period just after the equation on the equation's line.

An example of including the equation into the sentence structure... 

``Both the primary blue-detuned and the primary red-detuned atomic trap sites lie within the region of validity of the Fresnel approximation~\cite{Dork2010}, or
\begin{equation}
z_1^3\gg{{\pi}\over{4 \lambda}} \left[ \left( x_1 - x_0\right)^2 + \left( y_1 - y_0\right)^2\right]^2 ,
\label{eq:Fresnel}
\end{equation}
where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light, $x_1$, $y_1$, and $z_1$ are the coordinates of the point of interest, and $x_0$ and $y_0$ are the locations of an integration point in the aperture plane.''  

Then you can reference your equations by calling the `label' you gave the equation using a `ref' call; i.e., Eq.~\ref{eq:Fresnel} is a handy-dandy approximation.



\section{Experiment}

\subsection{First subsection title}	

The `Experiment' section would include a detailed representation of the apparatus, including all devices, instruments, and connections. An annotated picture, sketch, schematic or block diagram all work fine. Details are very important! Everything about the experiment, its configuration and setup, should given.  Explain what equipment is used and for what purpose.  Keep in mind that you are explaining \textit{how} you did your work/experiment, and that your Senior Project should be able to be used by students working on similar projects after you as a reference.  With all of the given equipment, readers should be able to follow your explanations here and duplicate your results.

\section{Data and Analysis}

This section typically includes all of your measurements and/or and raw data in a clearly organized and easy to read format. The `Analysis' part of this section explains how you go from your raw data to a final result. Describe the procedures you used for your calculations.  Some additional theory can be included in this section if it is directly related to your data analysis method.  Show all of your calculations (or in the case of a lot of data, a sample calculation), graphs and any derived numerical results.  

\section{Discussion}

It is in this section where you discuss your results.  How is your data interpreted?  What features of your data are important and why?  What do your results mean?  How do your results compare with those of the work of others?  Asses whether the results make sense, and explain why.  Error analysis would go in this section.
  
\section{Conclusions}

Conclusion remarks go here.  All results obtained should be concisely summarized here.
